These Panasonic rechargeable NiM-H batteries are probably
the best you can buy, and an excellent value. They are high
capacity and hold their charge exceptionally well. And if
you watch for deals, they go on sale a few times a year!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had this radio for about 5.5 years now, and I have
found it to be solid and reliable. I live in a region that has
a number of tornado alerts each year, as well as other
weather related alerts. This radio does a very good job
of providing warnings, and monitoring the situations as
they are in progress. I am impressed by how long the
battery holds its charge (when not in use). I top it up
about every 6 months. This is a very good choice as
an emergency weather alert radio.

This is a good and compact emergency radio. It has
a large rechargeable battery (2600 mAh). It picks up
all the NOAA weather stations in your area. It can
monitor those stations and issue a loud alert when
these stations warn of approaching dangerous weather.
It can also receive AM and FM radio stations in your area.
The battery can be charged 3 ways: via USB, via a
hand crank, or via a small solar panel. It is a good value.

This is a pair of good, budget FRS radios.
I have used them up to a 1/4 mile in a
residential neighborhood, with some trees.
They sound very good and clear in that setting -
absolutely no static!
I have tested them inside a car, and they will
permit car to car communications for distances
up to at least a 1/4 mile.
These radios are compact and easily fit most hands.
They are easy to use, and work right out of the box.
My only criticism is that the rechargeable Ni-MH batteries
provided have a small capacity of only 650 mAh. On the
plus side, they will take less time to recharge using the
provided cradle than higher capacity Ni-MH rechargeable
AA batteries.
I got mine on sale, and consider them a good buy.

This was not true for the second drive - I struggled to get it to work, and then found that 7% of the sectors of the drive were bad. It now appears to be working, but I less confidence in it.

Does the external SSD come with a USB-C cable? I’m not sure if I have one.

It should come with two cables. One a usb c to c, and the second a usb c to a. Mine came in a little box "hidden" behind the drive. However, you need to test them with a drive known to be good. I found 3 of the 4 cables I received with two of these drives to be defective.

I just purchased this external ssd and tried to use it for the first time. It will not show up on my computer anywhere, except on the "eject" tray. Why can't my new laptop see or open it the file location?

I suspect that it needs to be initialized and then formatted - operations you can do from disk management. However, it could also be a bad cable. I had a similar experience with this refurbished drive.

Is the 8GB RAM memory expandable?

Yes it is. The 8GB of RAM it come with is soldered in, but there is an empty SO-DIMM slot where you can add additional RAM.
